New days come and old days go,
In and outward classes flow ;
Now remembered, now forgot.
Even as the fates allot.
Try they to endure or no
Years will bring their overthrow.
Faded have the rest ? Our claim
Is to find less fleeting fame :
Yes, this book you'll soon forget
And our laurels fade, but yet
May we hope to feel we've won
By some kindly deeds we've done.
If when life a burden seemed
And your hearts with sorrow teemed
One kind word, a smile, a prayer.
Helped you here, consoled you there,
Cease not when our spheres you fill
To hold for us your good will.
Though our task is idle, vain,
Ere we close we ask again
As succeeding years roll on.
New friends made and old ones gone.
When the Crimson meets your view
Just one thought for
1902.

L»ebanon Valley College.
rf|¥i""¥"""ii|i'Jl HE church of Christ is the repository of divine truth and the
ff ^m^ fi conservatory of Christian education. This has been and al
[f /T ji ways will be true. Hence the leaders of the church through
[l ^^ j] the centuries have been the leaders of the higher education.
[Siij5'i»iiiil[" jIjinIJ Uwight, Edwards and Finney were great educational as well
as religious leaders. Luther, Wesley and Otterbein, great denominational
founders, were University men, and hence champions of Christian educa-
tion.
Though the founder of the church of the United Brethren in-Christ
was as scholarly as saintly, the demands for education in our early liistory
were either meager or slightly recognized. About the middle of the nine-
teenth century, the need of a Christian College in the eastern part of the
Church, became imperative and led to the establishment of Lebanon
Valley College in the year 1866 and the granting of a Charter, with full
University privileges in the following year.
By nature's endowment, in the heart of Lebanon Valley, unsurpassed
in beauty and healthfulness, Annville is the most desirable site in the
State, for a college. Three commodious and well equipped buildings,
the Ladies Hall, the Administration building and the Engle Conservatory
of Music grace the beautiful ten-acre campus. The Conservatory and the
annex to the Administration building have been additions of the last three
years, with largly increased internal equipments for the growing needs of
the College.
The enrollment for the past five years, in 1897-124; in 1898-^04; in
1899-257; in 1900-292; in 1901-325; shows our steady and substantial
growth .
Three standard courses leading to the regular degrees in Arts and
Sciences are offered in the College proper, besides the Preparatory and
Music courses. Within thirty-four years 318 persons have been graduated
and more than 4000 have received partial training for life's great work.
Our graduates have taken positicms by the side of the graduates of the oldest
and strongest institutions of the country. They fill honorable positions
in the leading Universities. In Science, Literature, Law, Theology,
Teaching, Medicine, Journalism and Commercialism they have made en-
viable records.
Lebanon Valley College stands for the highest Christian culture, the
symmetrical development of the entire man for the best service in any
vocation of life. She has wrought well in the past, better than similar
institutions of like resources and with the unanimous and generous sup-
port of her friends will do vastly better in the future. Here is a splendid
opportunity for men of means to have their silver and gold transmitted in-
to lives of beauty and service for the Church and the Nation.

Poem.
The horologue of time hns struck another year,
Its slow and solemn chime warns us the day is near
When ail our school work done,
Our class, dear Nineteen-one,
Forth from these halls must go
To battle with the foe
That never sounds a truce or ever knows a fear.
The happy days now past too rapidly have flown ;
Too beautiful to last, each hour and moment gone.
But in our future years,
Through eyes made dim by tears.
Back to these days we'll look
Like to a shady nook.
To find the springs of joy our pilgrimage has known.
'Tis needless to relate the years of toil endured.
The process to narrate how every mind matured ;
How changed in every taste,
Through, virtue or Ijy grace.
From fainting hearts to brave.
Who nothing else do crave
But that the Right and Truth to all may be secured.
'Tis sacrilege to tell the secret joys now past,
So let us guard them well, dear classmates, to the last;
Forbid that one should deem
The past an idle dream.
But let our college days
Be like the sun's bright rays.
To light our hearts with joy where'er our lines are cast.
When in the closing years that mark our life's decline,
When we forget our fears and all our doubts resign,
Then in that quiet peace
Which brings to all release.
With hearts that fondly yearn.
Then backward we will turn
To days that brought no pain or thoughts of sad repine.
31
Kind friends we would entreat that joii be ever true,
We pray that you us greet with love that's ever new.
Remember Nineteen-one
While shines yon golden sun,
For in our future life,
Amid its din and strife.
We'll pause each hour to give a kindly thought of you.
E. M. B.

History.
fiiii^'^'«Ji« HE untiring pendulum of time in its ceaseless yearly vibration
f ^^. J, has made us cognizant that again one entire year has elapsed
/T l1 since last the history of the class of igoi was recorded on the
^"^ j] pages of the Bizarre. Concerning this most worthy class, what
fiiiii|ii[ ^Lriiij^iiBfJ was one year ago a mere matter of conjecture, has now become
the record of time. The history of the past year being now complete, as
one views from this milestone the experiences of the past, the ob.stacles
which have been overcome, the joys which have been ours in common,
one finds rising within him the mingled emotions of pride, joy and regret
— regret that these days are gone, that the eve of separation is at hand.
But the future, be it what it may, shall ever cherish fond memories of the
experiences as a class of our last year at L. V. C.
A year ago when the history of this organization was written it was
the source of much annoyance to the historian, as well as to the other
male members of the class, that he could record the names of but three
ladies on the list. But it is with considerable pride that the present his-
torian announces the increase of this number to a prim half dozen amiable,
cultured, young ladies. One member having quit school but five others
having allied themselves to the organization since June last, the class has
numbered during its senioi'age but one short of two dozen against that of
nineteen as Juniors.
It has been remarked that the class of igoi has proven to be the best
rounded out, the best symmetrically developed class that has ever taken
the role as Senior class at Lebanon Valley College. Though it does not
boast of any of its number as freaks of learning or prodigies along any
line, yet there isn't any one of its numbers of whom it may justly be said
that he is not a good student or that he is not prepared to occupy some
important position in life. It has always been strongly represented in all
the various phases of college life, — the Christian associations, athletics,
literary societies and the several social functions connected with the
school. It has been during the year, in the true significance of the term,
the Senior class of the College.
33
Its career during the past year, as previously, has been one of con-
tinued progress and success. "The even tenor of our way" however, has
been interspersed by many very agreeable events. One of these was the
occasion of our being entertained at dinner by our class sister, Miss Susie
Moyer, at her home in Derry. It was on the fifth of Februaiy when
sleighing was at its best, that a team of four good horses, amid the merry
jingling of bells, drew the sleigh in which were comfortably deposited the
several jolly members of the class of 'oi. A dinner fit for princes was serv-
ed to us on our arrival. Toasts abounding in kindly humor and rare wit
were given. Games were afterwards played, music rendered by members
of the class, and songs sung in chorus with characteristic spirit. It was
an evening which commands for itself a permanent place in the memories
of every member.
Another long-to be-remembered event and one which goes to mak?
up the history of this organization was the magnificent banquet given to
this class by the hospitable Juniors. The two classes were conveyed to
the Hotel Eagle on the evening of February 22d, where, laying aside all
class spirit and in due recognition of the common brotherhood of man, we
mingled together in a spirit from which was obliterated all semblance of
class distinction. Words are to the historian but feeble instruments with
which to express the feeling of pleasure and of appreciation for the Juniors'
generosity.
One of the most striking characteristics of this class is its modesty.
This has been manifested on various occasions but revealed itself most
forcibly at the time when the election of historian was held. So reluctant
are the members of this class to speak of themselves that it was only after
a half dozen members had declined and the acceptance of the resignation
of the present officiating historian was refused by the class, that the latter
was prevailed upon to sketch this account.
The all prevailing thought which forces itself upon the mind of every
Senior as he so rapidly approaches the long expected commencement is a
serious one, the thought of final dissolution of the class to which he has
become so closely aflSliated. The history of the class ot tgoi ceases on
Commencement Day and thenceforth each member will go out into life,
not only to make his own history individually, but to assist in making the
common history of mankind. May each, as he departs these walls of
learning and enters the schools of real life, be imbued with such powers
and strength of character that, no matter what sphere of life he may enter,
he may always be a credit to himself, an honor to his class and a perma-
nent benefit to mankind. Historian.
34
If the reader thinks the artist h^s been too severe in his interpretation of
Senior virtues a more complimentary culmination of this "Evolution" may be
seen on page 154.

Poem.
Hail to thee, fair 1902 !
Hail thou banner of Crimson hue!
Thy glories old shall ever be
The pride of dear, dear L. V. C.
Three years have swiftlj' glided by
The fourth hard pressing, now is nigh
And soon from the height we'll cast a glance
Upon the world's vast, broad expanse.
To Lebanon Valley we hope to give,
A class that through all time shall live
For in our work, it is well known
We always trj' to hold our own.
The days we spent within these hills
Will urge us on where duty calls ;
Across life's stream a bridge they rear,
From Ignorance to wisdom's sphere.
Upon this bridge we've made fast friend
Whom we will love till life's stream ends —
Friendships formed which none can sever,
Friends are we, aye friends forever.
Sweet happy days, too soon you go !
Oh stay till "we ourselves do know !"
When to our motto we've been true
To realms beyond we'll go with jou.
Poet.

GEORGE HENRY ALBRIGHT.
George Henry Albright a diminutive
pecinien of ancestral greatness, stands
ill the head of his class — alphabetically.
He claims Manheini, Lancaster County,
as his birth place and prophecies that the
claim will be reciprocal in a few years.
Until latel)-, gossip had dubbed George a
bai helor, but her judgment was in fault
for hi; heart was completely taken after
an easy assault, by one of the Co-eds.
"Allie,'' while scmewhat sawcd-off, is
made of athletic fiber and has been prom-
inent ill all college sports, being a mem-
ber both of the Varsity foot ball and base
ball teams, as well as captain of his class
teams. He expects to become a veterin-
ary surgeon and at this early date is so
proficient in his chosen vocation, that
his professional service is an iudispen-
saljl e need of the Jockeys' Club.
GERTRUDE MAY BOWMAN.
Gertrude "June" Bowman, a 3'oving
lad3' whose beauty is excelled only by
her good looks, was born on a beautiful
afternoon in the delightful month of June
iS8o(i'), in the handsome city o£ Dayton,
Ohio. The lovely quiet of that afternoon
seems to have implanted in her very be-
ing a yearning, which, since her arrival at
Lebanon Valley, can be satisfied only by
afternoon strolls, preferably Sanday.
She is one of our most popular sisters and
"G. B." has been significant to her many
admirers in more ways than one.
"June" is pursuing a course of instruc-
tion in the Conservator)', specializing in
instrumental music, with a view to be-
come an Accompanist. She is an adept
already, being able to perform difficult
parts of many compositions admirably —
■with one hand. Miss Bowman is a grad-
uate of the Steele High School of her
native city.
39
DAVID DANIEL BUDDINGER.
David Daniel Biiddiiiger was lioni on
Sunday, in Butler County, Iowa, in a
town whose name he has entirely forgot-
ten. Rev. B'lddinger, for he is a minis-
ter of the old Puritan type, is the assail-
ant of SabLalh desccr, t on and strivis so
far as his environment permits to live
peaceahl}' with all men. He believes in
the injunction "Don't do as I do, hut do
as I preach." He is loyal to his cla^s
even at the risk of his niinisterial rela-
tions, for on one memoraule occasion he
disobeved the coiiiinand 'Whosoever shall
smite thee on the right cheek, turn to
him the other also," and flew into a class
frav. His wife proved his saviour, how-
ever, for she drew him out of d.mger by
the tail of his clerical haliilin^ent and pre-
served that part of his reputation. After
graduation he will enter Union Biblical
Seminar\ .
DONALD JOHN COWLING.
Donald John Cowling, the "nice" boy
of the class, is a relative of John Bull,
and is indigenous to soil surrounding
Trevalga, Cornwall, England. After pats-
ing a few years in his native countiy he
made the acquaintance of Uncle Sam
and afterwards was adopted into his foster
Uncle's large family. Donald is a young
man of studicus habits, bright intellect,
and faultless manners, seasoned with a
dash of sentimentality. His brushes with
the gentler sex have been frequent and
in most cases disastrous to his usual tran-
quility of mind, but his native aggress-
iveness, augmented by a modest opinion
of his masculine attractiveness, has often
stood him in good stead. He is some-
whit undecided as to his future vocation
but will likel)', after graduation, enter
Harvard University to pursue a course
in English.
40
SAMUEL HOFFMAN DERICKSON.
Siiniuel Hoffiiuui Dericksou is a des-
cendant of the eaily tettJeis of New Port,
Pa. Fioni early childhood he betrayed
a niiirkcd love for nature, human nature
of the opposite six included, and after
his preliminary training in the public
schools, entered the Scientific depart-
ment of L- V. C. for further study in his
chosen field. While here he has distin-
guished himself as a careful student and
a powerful "prefser" of beautiful botani-
cal (?) specimens. Not only in Science
has he shown himself an apt student, but
in Mechanics as well. Lately he has con-
structed a spinning "Jenn}'," on which a
patent is now pending, and which bids
fair to be more successful than any of his
previous attempts in this realm. Mr.
Derickson, the hustling business mana-
ger of the Bizarre, will after graduation
complete his education alircad.
NETA BEATlilCE ENGLAR.
Neta Beatrice Englar, from the best
mannscripts obtainable, was born at New
Wiiisdor, Md. in the san:e year in ^\liich
the Centenniel was celebrated. Later
she lived in the Buckeye State and from
there came to Lebanon Valley on pleas-
ure bent, being instrumental in having
that mysterious organization, the Ohio
Club, incorporated shortly after her
arrival. Miss Englar in more waj'S than
one, is a womanly girl and her associates
revere her as being the paragon of com-
mon sense and often are guilty of trivial
inelegancies for the purpose of securing
audience in one of her nianj' curtain
lectures. She is a warm defender of
woman's rights and seldom hesitates to
make her claims good by spirited
speeches in the class meetings. She
has rare musical talent which expresses
itself in masterly renditions of popular
airs.
41
MAUD ALMA ENGLU.
Maud Alma Eiigle, a native of Dauphin
Coiiiitx , was born on December i6, iS8i.
It is s id she took first prize at a country
fair frr being the prettiest baby on the
groui ds, and our readers will agree that
she has not lost any of that childish
beaulv. It is for work done on the
social committee of the Y. W. C. A. that
she is especially known. Her ability as
a hostess has often been evinced by the
ni. ny pleasant evenings a certain Senior
spends at the Hall. Miss Engle is also
taking up a course in "Nature Study,"
applying herself assiduously to the
"studies." She is prompted to do this
in the hope of some day becoming a
minister's wife. Her talent for music
needs no comment, save that she is now
bending her energies, so as to satisfy an
ambition to successfully manage a re-
fractory Church Choir.
CLAUDE ROY ENGLE.
Claude Roy Engle differs only from most
great men in that he was born in a senii-
city-country locality four miles from
Harrisburg, some twenty years ago. Al-
though his environment made progress
along most lines possible, he is unalter-
ably opposed to agricultural innovations
and insists on working with a "Spayd."
Being preeminently a ladies' man he is
second to none in hustling baggage and
running errands. His musical talent is
well known and his deep bass voice fre-
quently adds to the "charm" of many a
midnight serenade. Claude is especially
interested in Science and spend all his
spare time in th2 Che.nical Lab., playing
with his favorit^ compound iron filings
and sulphuric acid. Long live Claude and
his ambition to be a "prof," but that
short lived many be his experiments with
H2S is the prayer of all his friends.
42
CLAYTON CLEVELAND GOHN.
Clayton Cleveland Gohn because of his
extraction and intention, commonly call-
ed "Preacher" was known as a child to
the residents of Red Lion, Pa. It is
breezed about that the gentle folk in the
quiet village of his nativity, even after
his varied experiences as the son of an
itinerant minister and with the addition
of a score of 3ears, are still wont to think
of him as of yore. He is a man of gentle
disposition, "goo-goo" eyes and an ex-
ceedingly glib tongue. A large and
ready vocabulary, aided by a vivid im-
agination, makes variety of expression
in the vernacular tongue, not only a mat-
ter of ease but an accomplishment pecu-
liar to himself. Before entering Lebanon
Valley in the fall of 1900, Mr. Gohn at-
tended Western College, Toledo, Iowa.
JOSEPH LEHN KREIDER.
Joseph Lehn Kreider is a son of the
soil but springs from an influential family.
He arrived in Annville about the year
1879, a few days too late for Fourth of
July celebrations for that year, but con-
soled himself with a unique 'celebration'
of his own much it is said, to the discom-
fort of the entire household. The family
record shows that the first word escaping
his infant lips was "coin" and he subse-
quently betrayed a decided propensity
for the "specie." Joe is a young man of
sterling qualities, doubtless because of
which he was connected with the "Ann-
ville Journal" in the capacity of printer's
"Devil," and later elected a deacon of the
church. Joe expects to become an elec-
trical engineer and purposes entering
State College to pursue his studies in
that remunerative vocation.

THOMAS ADAM LAWSON.
Thomas Adaiu Lawson, a perfect type
of that famous organization known as the
"Sons of Rest,'' began his life of "ease"
in Dallastown, Pa. After passing an indif-
ferent boyhood in a large easy chair of
his father's office, he bestirred himself
for the first time and came to Lebanon
Valley. His career here is, as might be
expected, as uncheckered as his youthful
days — for he seldom moves. He claims
descent from the early New England set-
tlers described in Knickerbockers His-
tory of New York, and his actions give
us little reason for doubting his veracity.
However his phlegmatic tendencies
seem to contribute largely to his won-
derful mathematical abilities, else how
could he be the genius at numbers he
has proven himself to be. Tom, some
time since, roused himself from his
accustomed lethargy long enough to
produce "What Man Wants." It was
a hit.
NETTIE SUSANA LOCKEMAN.
Nettie Susana Lockenian was born,
laughing, in the City of York, Pa., in the
year 1SS4 A. D., and if this chronology is
correct is the "baby" of the Class,
although we are inclined to believe '94
is more nearly the true date. Never-
theless she would still be the "baby."
Of gigglers galore, Miss Nettie is an easy
winner and keeps the entire class in a
constant flux of good humor. This
natural characteristic has not gone un-
rewarded for her smiles are so magnetic
that even a Sophomore has been drawn
near enough to spread the contagion,
and we doubt not are sufficiently power-
ful to attract him for some time to come.
She is a musical student and Treasurer
of '02. Her future rests entirely with
the Sophomore — but a further divulgence
would be sacrilege.
44
ISAAC FISHER LOOSE.
Isaac Fisher Loose was turned loose in
the world in Berks County, Pa., and after
having imbibed the proverbial "nourish-
ment" of that section and l)eing fully
grown, wandered to Lebanon Valley in a
P. & R. "side door palace car." His re-
mo'Se is bitter that the train ever stop-
ped at Annville and the "Unpropitious
Fates" is the theme of many a melan-
choly soliloqu}-. He is a great favorite
ofall— except the ladies, toward whom he
shows a marked indisposition. "I key"
always wears a smile or a frown and never
hesitates, even on the slightest provoca-
tion, to send one to Pluto's realms. Mu-
sic and Tom Paine are hishobbies, for the
former of which he has considerable talent
Isaac is taking a full musical course and
will complete his education in Germany.
ARTHUR WESLEY MILLER.
Arthur Wesley Miller is a signal proof
of the effect of environment. The sub-
ject of our short sketch — generally known
because of some imaginary effeminate
characteristics, as "Miss Artie" — was
born at Mechanicsburg, Pa. "Artie" is
the best mechanic in the class and has
proven himself so competent that his
ingenuity has been utilized in stocking
the Physical and Chemical Laboratories
■with paraphenalia. His room is filled
with curiousl}- constructed contrivances,
prominent among which is an automatic
"nerve" producer. The Sophomores will
readily testify to its effective operation.
Aside from this mechanical skill "Artie"
is an artist of no small caliber, the illus-
trations of the Bizarre being a proof
of his ability in this direction. His fu-
ture is uncertain since he hesitating
whether to become an artist or a minister.
45
EDITH MYERS.
Edith Myers, the "longest" member
of the class, has also the distinction of
having the shortest name. This vision
of fairness came to light, according to
her own figures, on December 6, 1880, in
Jersey City, N. J. It is said that her
growth was so rapid that her native state
became too small for her and in obedi-
ence to a well obeyed law in Physics her
parents moved to capacious Pennsylvania.
Miss Myers is now a resident of Mt. Joy,
Pa. She entered the Art department of
Lebanon Valley and has distinguished
herself as a faithful interpreter of what is
beautiful and sentimental in human na-
ture. We are proud to claim her as one
of the artists of the Bizarre, and are con-
fident our refideis will appreciate her
consummate skill when "Every Man's
Goal" is seen. "Long" live Miss Myers.
WILLIAM JACOB SANDERS
William Jacob Sanders shoved on this
mortal coil in Millersville, Pa., and not
infrequently regrets the occurrence.
After receiving his early training in the
public schools of Sunbury, he entered
Lebanon Valley. "Bill" is the "warmest"
member of the class ; he is Editor-in-
Chief of the Bizarre, was the first presi-
dent of 1902, and shows marked executive
ability in all class enterprises. Cupid's
darts usually penetrate hearts painlessly
but since Billy's was pierced he has been
subject to intermittent fevers. He is
generally thought to be impulsive and
eccentric, but a closer acquaintance re-
duces these prejudices to a minimum.
"Bill" believes in making a good appear-
ance and is the "Beau Brummel" of the
class. He will after graduation take a
course in Political Science and Philos-
ophy in Columbia University.
46
LUCY ANNA. SHERK.
Lucy Anna Sherk made her debut in
Ihewoildin H irrislntrg, Pa. She "dis-
remembers" the date, she says, but it
makes no difference snice the accom-
panying cut shows it was not a half
century since. In the Harrisburg public
schools she secured the rudiments of
education and cinie to Lebanon Valley
in the Fall of oo, entering the Conserva-
tory fcra complete musical course. She
is an accomplished pianist and sings
alto in the Chorus Class and in Sunday
School. Miss LuC3' is a five day student,
spending Sundaj' at her home, much to
the regret of one certain Junior, who
laments the fact that Sunday trains are
so inconvenient. Miss Sherk h; s many
admirers and as to her future we will
simply say she is a Go (h) ner.
WILLIAM ALGERNON SITES.
William Algernon Sites was reared in
Harrisbuig, Pa. The rearing however
was for some reason discontinued rather
abruptly and "Billie" has ever since been
obliged to "look up to people." Al-
though he is a Lilysutian, nevertheless
he possesses traits which differentiate
him widely from Gulliver's creatures.
By dint of perseverence, prompted by a
noble aim, he is making his way through
college, in a manner creditable to him-
self and the class of which he is a mem-
ber. Little love for social life, a heart
impervious to Cupid's wiles, a solemn
countenance, a quiet disposition and too
much time given to prayers, are his chief
failings. He is a preacher by trade and
we predict for him a successful future if
he will mend his ways and wear cork in-
soles in his shoes.
47
ELIZABETH LUCRETIA STEHMAN.
Elizabeth Lucretia Stehman, our
modest class sister, was born in Mount-
ville, Pa., on the 24th of June, 18S0,
aboat 4 p. ui. Miss Elizabeth was nour-
ished on rural diet and became so ac-
customed to lacteal compounds that even
now she manifests a decided preference
for "pap" (bread and milk), and unless
procured for her, leaves for the parental
domicile at once. These departures are
frequent and nettle the "head" of that
taljle exceedingly. She is also a lover
of athletics, heartily supporting her class
in all gymnastic contests, in appreciation
of which she was recently elected Cap-
tain of the '02 Base Ball Team. Miss
Stehman is acting President of the Y.
W. C. A., and enjoys the distinction of
having been the first lady president of
'02. She is a student of the Conserva-
tory and unless Cupid interferes will
teach music after graduation.
ALFRED TENNYSON SUMNER.
Alfred Tennyson Sumner, a native of
the dark continent was born in Bonthe,
Sherbro, West Africa. At an early age
he attended the United Brethren Mission
School at Shangeh, graduating there in
'95. During the two succeeding years
Alired taught in his native village. See-
ing the great need of his people and feel-
ing that higher training would better
qualify him for his future work in the
field of missions, he came to this country
in the summer of '98 and in the fall of the
same )-ear entered Lebanon Valley.
Since here Alfred has proven himself to
be a gentleman, a student brilliant l)e-
yond expectation, and a universal favor-
ite. Mr. Sumner contemplates a medical
education in the University of Pennsyl-
vania, after which he will return to Africa
as a missionary. Success be with him is
the wish of '02.
History.
if'¥"""¥"""¥'yl0R two long years the melodious harp of 1902 has been wrapt
{ ^ ji in darkness and its echoing strings hushed ; but I now
1^ '^Sg j\ proudly, though unworthily, release its cords and set free its
[^ *!' jj rapturous strains. Not strains of pretended modesty sending
[iiiiiil;iiiiii;l[iin[iiil[iiiil] out at every beat the discordant notes of conceit, selfishness
and bigotry, but strains full of sympathy, resounding with the harmonious
echoes of truth and worth.
Having faithfully endured the trials of Freshmen, we left our first
patron and were graciously received by the kind guardian of the Soph.s,
and, while under his guidance, bonds were formed that have pained our
hearts to break and pictures drawn which now shine in all their splendor
on the illumed walls of memory. Precious indeed are these pictures, re-
minding us of tenderest ties severed and sweetest joys all too soon re-
legated to the stern and sombre region of the past. There is one, how-
ever, that stands out more prominent than the rest ; it is a scene of Com-
mencement week and we tarry a moment to give its history.
The Seniors had just launched into the mighty deep of the future,
leaving in their wake a troubled and stormy sea. Presently the banner of
the Freshmen, that emblem of presumption, conceit and ignoronce, from
the gallery flopped its saggy folds into the troubled air. A death-like
hush ensued — a moment — and a little band of doughty Sophs, arising
from who knows where, with its Crimson banner streaming with light,
appears on the scene and soon the conflict is on. Fiercely seethes the
strife, it is carried without, under the open sky, and the battle between
Crimson and Scarlet, between right and wrong, light and darkness rages
in all its fury. The gods are on the scene — Bishops and elders, clergy
and laity alike contend with darkness for the light. See ! the line of
Scarlet wavers, their ranks break, their emblem is seized. The fates are
inexorable. Zeus awards the victory to the Crimson and the conflict is
over. The sordid ensign of Scarlet was cleansed, and divided among
the victors, and the radiant banner of Crimson, though torn and tattered,
now shines in its augmented splendor in the Armory of 1902.
49
Summer vacation comes and goes and we, a band of twenty, are sol-
emnly ushered into the presence of the august ruler of the third quadrant.
Having sworn allegiance, we applied ourselves to our tasks and have been
favored with recognition for achievements in both athletics and literary
work.
On the evening of February 22nd we gave a Banquet to the Seniors
and, under the drapings of Orange, Crimson and Black, Junior and Senior,
side by side, mingling their voices in glee and their hearts in deepest
friendship, alike partook of the sumptous feast.
The evening of March 14th is one long to be remembered, it being the
occasion of the President's reception to the Juniors. Just after dusk the
Sophs, were noticed skulking about the campus in their best clothes. It
was thought at first that they designed to obstruct the path of tlie Juniors
but, when advances were made against them, they earnestly pleaded their
innocence and piteously begged to be taken along to the reception. This
of course could not be. but the President having compassion on their
child like ways, promised that if they would be good until next year,' he
would give them a little reception of their own. The remainder of the
evening was indeed crowded with pleasures for us all and Pres- and Mrs
Roop, by their kind and thoughtful hospitality, have won our sincere
gratitude.
What we sh ill become in the future does not yet appear but we look
forward with cheerful hopes, for in the past, smooth and placid has been
our sea, and balmy the breezes that have wafted us on our way.
These then are the strains! Dear Harp, sweet are thy lays. Thou
has cheered our hearts with pleasing memories of our past and inspired
us with a nobler devotion to thy cause. Go, retire into thine own silence
and may he who would henceforth release thy restrained harmony be less
unworthy to touch thy sacred chords.

Poem.
I sit withiu uiy cozy nook,
The fire burns dull and low ;
My eyes are closed, I backward look,
'Twas just two j-ears ago
That home was left and all so dear, —
'Twas just two years ago.
'Twas at that time there might be seen
At h. v. C. you know.
Lads, lasses, stupid, slow, and green.
And bashful, too, I know.
Assembling all from far and near, —
'Twas just two years ago.
Soon they came forth as Freshnien bright.
That was two years ago ;
But now they stand, arrayed in light,
Pure as the driven snow ;
As Sophs they stand, a famous Ijand,
Since just a year ago.
And see how far their brightness pours
Its rays, where'er they go !
Of course, they are the Sophomores,
Round them there's nothing slow;
Not even if the Freshmen and
The Juniors tell you so.
Around their motto all do bow
And worship, chanting low,
"Nulla dies sine liriea," —
May all soon learn to know
The blessed truth therein contained,
And act it as they go.
Their days as Sophs will soon be o'er.
But they'll not stay below ;
They'll work and strive as oft before.
They'll push right on and go
To where their white and scarlet leads,
A joyful, gladsome morrow.

History.
Wvf' iii"'VW ISTORY in general is divided into epochs, the beginnings and
[f ^—^ ll endings of which are marked by some great event. As there
[l DIj Jj are epochs in universal history so are there epochs in the
[l j1 history of a class in its course through college. The events
[C'^i lAriinil^iiil] marking the epochs in class history are commencement days.
They are the great transition days of college life, when inferiority is aban-
doned for superiority, and when dignity is given up for still greater dig-
nity. In the history of a college class, from the time it assumes responsi-
bilities as such, until it bids a final farewell to its Alma Mater, and its
members scattered to the four corners of the earth, there are tour epochs,
the responsibility and dignity of which increases through each until it
gloriously culminates on that day of all days to a college student — Com-
mencement day.
The class of Nineteen Hundred and Three has already completed its
first epoch and the wheels of time are rapidly rolling in toward the close
of the second. A glance at the Bizarre of last year will show a record of
the achievements of the Freshman year, so that after having recorded the
happenings of the present year the historian will consider his task com-
pleted
As in a great historical drama successive epochs are not characterized
by the same actors, so in epochs of class history we do not always find
the same people. This has been true of our class. At the beginning of
our second epoch, the Sophomore year, we grieved to note the absence of
five of the most esteemed of our numbers. Since that time another has
withdrawn from our ranks. We feel their loss keenly. Their absence
reduced our number to eighteen members, but we have lately welcomed
two others into our circle. Every department in the college is represent-
ed in our class. Our number of ladies is still limited to three.
The achievements oi our Sophomore year have been many and to
particularize would require too much space. We have furnished material
for every organization in college. Our members have been heard from
57
on the athletic field, in the Literary societies and the Christian organiza-
tions ; we have representatives in the musical organizations and the Dra-
matic Club ; in fact our members are seen in every walk of college life.
The work of our girls is especially noteworthy ; one of them very success-
fully represented the Clionian society at its twenty-ninth anniversary ;
another has been engaged in a critical study of literature, especially the
works of Shakesphere and Tennyson, giving some time also to present
day writers, particularly. Van Dyke; the other has spent some time dur-
ing the present year in short story writing, in which she has been quite
successful.
The third epoch will soon be upon us. Our aim as Sophomores is
to be prepared for the greater responsibilities which will then devolve up-
on us. Our motto is "Something each day," and we believe with the
the poet that,
"New occasions teach new duties ;
Time makes ancient good uncouth ;
They must upward still and onward.
Who would keep abreast of truth."

Foem.
"They are Freshman," folks said,
In a depreciating tone,
But their minds now are changed.
Since we've become known.
Of course we are Freshman,
We'er proud of it too ;
We are making things move.
Although we are new.
We call ourselves, "Freshman,"
But what's in a name?
It is through our actions
We merit true fame.
Let us be and not seem.
As we journey along.
And thus make our lives
One lovely sweet song.
And if we are earnest,
And all do our best.
Our reward is not wanting.
For we'll stand the test.
So four years from now.
Folks may view from afar
The glorious triumph
Of the Class of '04.
63
History.
if¥"""¥ ¥jl S the existence of the Freshman class has been brief, our his-
f f^^ ji tory is naturally corresponding in size, but short as it is, the
it \^\ m Historian is perfectly conscious of his incompetency to do it
[t ^'^ jj justice. And it is to be remembered that we have some his-
[iiiii^iifiiii;l[iiiiiii^hiilj tory, to reveal which would be sacrilege.
Our experiences as Freshmen have not differed materially from those
of which you have heard time and time again. As others have done be-
fore us, so each of us, scornfully turning a deaf ear to the advice of our
parents, and being filled with the feeling that now I am my own boss,
came here with a head of about twice its normal size. But after we had
fixed our rooms into some semblance of home, after the Seniors had fully
impressed us with their dignity, the Juniors with their cousinly affection,
and the Sophs with their intentions of "doing us," our hats were once
again the proper size and we set about to make for ourselves history
which should endure.
One of our first steps was to organize, which was done in a peaceable
manner, and looking back over our numerous trials and difficulties we
chose for our motto: "He who strives to reach the goal, first bears and
does many things." And now we were ready to make our presence known
and felt.
The faculty was the first to awaken to the fact that Xhey had within
the school a prodigy, mirabile dictu (Sophs' version, miserabile visu,)
and therefore set themselves to the prodigious task of providing for us.
They perceived that we are not ordinary mortals and so they prepared
themselves in due proportion. And, it may be added to our credit, they
found that it was not a momentarj' delusion, but was and is a welcome
reality.
The Sophs were the next in order to recognize our supremacy and
although they let drop some rather unkind and sarcastic remarks concern-
ing us, still they have thought it policy to stop with that and not to do
65
deeds ofviolence. It seems to us that the main diffierence which lies be-
tween the Sophs, and us is, in the language of Socrates, that they not
knowing think they know, while we not knowing do not think so.
As to the Juniors, they being naturally concerned in us, their con-
sins, and in addition seeing the brillancy of our class, took many pains in
helping us over the critical periods of our historj', and have truely been,
"A lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path," for which services
we return our grateful thanks
And the Seniors ! Well, lest we should offend them, we will not say
anything more than that we have found "Senior dignity" to be a sham,
but that we hope and expect that, when they have become rid of their al-
most infinite conceit, thev will make their mark.
In athletics we have also shown our strength and skill and have been
able to cope with and conquer others in respect to quality, notwithstand-
ing the fact that we are lacking in quantity.
In fact, in all departments of college work we have shown our ability.
Everywhere our influence is a powerful factor and not alone in the dining
Hall, as has been remarked only too truthfully of the Sophs.
Of course we feel proud of ourselves, think that we are the star class
of Lebanon Valley, and that fate has decreed that we shall startle the
world by our achievements, both individually and as a body. However
to say more concerning our future would be to overstep the bounds of
modesty, and so we leave you to follow our course in the future and to
judge for yourselves whether or not we have fulfilled our own expectations.

History of C L,. S.
mt
^" ' "in'JJ HIRTY years have passed since the Clionian Literary Society
of Lebanon Valley College was organized, through the
influence of Miss Sarah Burns of the class of 1873. At the
time of organization the membership was necessarily small,
[€ii^Nii.iii^iiiiiiii|[iiil] because its privilege was limited to boarding students only.
At first the weekly meetings of the Society were held in a small room
in South College. This room was not furnished and had no library at all,
but in a short time the ladies from town were admitted to membership
and as the Society became larger the girls were given a hall in the same
building. By great efforts which the girls made they succeeded in
having the present hall comfortably furnished during the years 1876 and
1879. The Society was especially indebted to Miss Althea Fink Merick,
for the beautiful statue of Minerva which she presented to the Society, and
also to Miss Sarah Burns who presented a bookcase and also the first
books of the Library. The first Anniversary of the Society was held
during Commencement Week of 1874, but in 1876 the time was changed
to Thanksgiving Day, which is nearer the time of organization.
Thanksgiving Day has been the Anniversary Da)' of the Clionian
Society all these years. One of the most memorable events in its history
was the celebration of the Quarto Centennial Anniversary held on
November 26, 1896.
The Society holds its meetings on the Friday evening of each week.
Two evenings of each term are spent in joint session with the Kalozetean
and Philokosmian Societies. The girls feel that their society work is
one of the most helpful parts of their College work, and consequently
make a great effort to have the weekly meetings as profitable as possible.
May all members of the Clionian Literary Society be ever true to their
motto: " Virtue et Fide."

History of the P. U.S.
P
[f W"'"'¥ ¥% HILOKOSMIANS may take a just pride in the annals of
fj their history .
l] The Society was organized May 6, 1867, the year that
1] L. V. C. received its charter from the state of Pennsylvania,
"iiirtii ii|iiiiiiiiii^iiilj and its power and influence have increased with the growth
of the College.
The membership of the society has steadily grown and 1901 finds
four hundred and eighty nine names recorded, of which fifty six are act-
ive members. Last year's Annual showed a membership of fifty four.
We lost from the active roll seven graduates and eight undergradu-
ates, and gained seventeen new men during the year.
In the thirty four years of its existence the society has sent forth to
battle in life a body of men of whom L. V. may well be proud, for they
iiave attained to enviable positions in professional and business life.
Although the chief object of the society is to give a literary training,
yet, the business meetings afford a valuable experience, and arouse an in-
terest probably as great as the literary sessions.
Prior to 1876 the society did not have a proper meeting place, which
was a great hindrance to growth and success. However in the autumn
of that year the hall which we now occupy was secured and arranged for
use.
The society undertook the building of a hall a number of years ago ;
sufiicient money had been subscribed for the erection of a suitable build-
ing but the College authorities objected for varied reasons and the project
was given up for the time.
During last year the project was revived and judging from the prog-
ress made and the loyalty of all Philos we have hope of possessing a home
of our own, which will not only be a monument to the society but a credit
to the institution .
87
Previous to 1878 the College did not have a reading room for the use
of students. The society opened one which met the demands of the stu-
dents. In 1898 the management was transferred to the College authorities
upon request.
In order to supply an imperative demand a lecture course was ar-
ranged and presented to the public in 1 88 1 . The success of ttiis enterprise
financially induced the facult3' to assume charge of its direction. Two
years of failure caused it to revert to the P. L- S. and since 1884 the
courses have been of high standard. Lectures and companies of national
repute have contributed to the instruction and entertainment of the public
and student body.
In January, 1891, the College Forum, which had been edited and
published by the faculty at a loss, was transferred to the society in recog-
nition of its success in managing bnsiness enterprises. That the society
has been able to overcome the difficulties incident to such a publication
and to present to the friends of the College a paper worthy of perusal, has
been clearly demonstrated during the past ten years. The Forum itselfis
sufficent evidence of the wisdom of this change in management.
The society owns a library of 895 volumes, fully catalogued. The
books have been carefully selected from the world's best literature. At
present the library is located in the basement of the main College buildine ,
but it will shortly be removed to a room in the Music Hall provided by
the College authorities for the combined libraries of the College
A department of Natural History originated in 1877, but not having
a suitable room the idea was abandoned after a large collection of speci-
ments had been made. The specimens are at present under the care of
the Science department
The manner in which the business interests of the society have been
conducted in the past is a fair indication of what we may expect in the
future. Esse qiiam videri, has been a guiding principle to lofty ideals and
an incentive to noble action. With the increased and unprecedented
prosperity of Lebanon Valley College we may well expect the scope of the
society's work to widen and its influence to become a more powerful fac-
tor in the culture and development of those who wish to make L V. C.
their alma mater.

EDITORIAL.
The spring term of Lebanon Valley College opening Wednes-
day, March 27, under very favorable conditions. It will be grat-
ifying to the friends of the college to know that the rapid progress
which has strongly characterized this institution during recent
years continues in every department. Increasing appreciation
throughout the country of the work done here is being manifested
by the number of new students which steadily increases each
term. A score or more new names appear on the college regis-
ter since the opening of the present term, of students desiring to
do regular college work, while nearh' a hundred strange faces may
be seen in the corridors daily, faces of those who are here pursu-
ing the normal course which has this term been newly connected
with the college. To old students returning to their alma mater,
unusual appearances would present themselves. The Dining
Hall is now three times daily filled to its greatest capacity, which
is a condition never existing before in the history of the Hall.
These indications are very pleasing to the friends of the institu-
tion and at the same time we feel that the high standing which
the school now occupies fully warrants every success.

|»|||||"""¥"""iiiii'l] ROM its organization in 1876 to the present time the Kaloze-
ff _^% j] tean literary Society has held a prominent place among the
1 "Vr jj literary organizations of the College. All its members are
C *i^ Jj taking active part in its Literary work, and many by their
iiiii;|iii Aiiiiiijl^iiilj literary talents and genius are continually in the eyes of the
public. The growth of the Society during the past year has been encou-
raging and the interest manifest in its work, lively. But as history is not
the province of the present writer, but forecasting it, rather his business,
he begs that what little has preceeded will be considered as but introduc-
tory.
In about twenty years Mr. Cowling will visit his son 'Daniel' at
Lebanon Valley College ; methinks he must find him as well as every
other student, a Kalo, snugly occupying a magnificently furnished Hall,
in the Engle Conservatory.
Mr. A. G. Smith, a present senior, will, after graduation enter the
Ministry, for want of a better job, or may be for the full purpose of per-
forming marriage ceremonies. We hope all members will patronize him,
and besides feel sure if this be done, his financial success will be greatly
enhanced .
Twenty five years have now passed since with much amusement the
sonorous 'snores' of Edwin Rupp struck our auditory nerve. Mr. Rupp,
who, for some time had been attempting to reach the moon, finally and
strange to say by an invention of his own succeeded in reaching that
satellite. He states that he slept there one night, and futher affirms that
it is very 'moonlight' and that the earth appears to be quite near.
C. R. Engle, who some ago time purchased a spade, with the inten-
tion of digging a short route to China, recently found a 'Bow' and for
some time since has been rounding himself into a 'Bowman' with a view
to vie with Cupid in archery. But we are sorry to state that with
prophetic vision we see him, because of his duplicity, make a complete
failure of both enterprises.
J. M. Hershey has taken the first successful trip in a flying machine,
ever taken by man. Leaving his home one afternoon nothing was heard
of him for two years, when he was found in jail in South Australia.
His long absence in voluntary rather than forced, and his reason for his
94
continued stay is, that he has found his proper sphere, and because of
his congenial and synipathetic surroundings, he shall make a cell his
future abode.
Elmer Erb has been canvassing the state soliciting funds for a new
institution to be organized at Hockersville. This is intended to be a
school where will be taught Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Spooning, Farming
and Blacksmithing. The last trade will be reduced to a science and we
have no doubt many noted trotters of Lebanon Valley will be sent there
to be shod.
Mr. S. H. Derickson the great Botanist is comparing the plant life
of the earth with that of mars.
R. K. Buflfington left his home one day, and nothing was heard of
him for sixteen years. When he did return he brought with him several
million dollars. Tiiere is no definite knowledge as to how he secured
this vast sum, but it is feared he made it in some 'Pedro' joint. Even
his father is a little suspicious about it.
Dr. Schaeffer has made himself famous for quickly curing diseases.
One of his chief methods is hypnotic suggestion, and being unmarried
his greatest success is achieved among the young ladies.
Harry Mover the great scientist and inventor, has recently dis-
covered that the mind of man may be transferred to the skull of an
animal, with a result that the animal will immediately talk ani think.
While this is generally true he has found an exception, refening to the
last named result, in the c ise of Mr. S leesley's brain. When it was
placed in the skull of a jackass the beast immeditately expired.
Roudabush and Donough were busy delivering campaign speeches
throughout the country in 1924, for the Presidential and Vice Presidential
Candidates Bryan and Scott. By the oratory of these men Mr. Bryan's
political aspirations were as nearly realized as in 1900. It is now
rumored that Donough has been promised a Cabinet position, by Bryan,
for "stumping" the country in 1928.
M. W. Smeltzer is leader in dress reform in New York City. All
the fashions of the sporting world are copied after him. Since he is in
New York the center of fashion has been referred from Paris to that
place.
L. E. Cross has left for Utah, settled among the Mormons, and even
at this early advice is the husband of six wives.
I. F. Loos has been representing Lebanon Vallc}' College by his
wonderful musical ability. Mr. Loos is well known over all Lebanon
and Berks Counties as a musician.
95
Fisher and Graybill are the champion prize fighters of the world.
Fisher worsted Graybill in several successive rounds but the latter won a
decided victory in the twentieth round.
R. S. Showers has started an Elocutionary School in his native city.
Mr Showers is an expert elocutionist, having taken a special course at
Lebanon Valley. His work was considerably hindered recently by the
elopement of his wife. Before her demise she secured all prepaid tuition
handy, and took besides, part of her husband's voice as a sample of her
former success.
W. J. Sanders has recently discovered a large island near the North
Pole, which will probably be named in the honor of its discoverer. A
delegation of Kalos will be sent to inhabit it, as well as other congenial
company, for it is rumored that the gentleman is tired of his wanderings
and solitude.
D. D. Buddinger is famous for being the most skillful clairvoyant
ever sent out by the Kalo Society. He at one time had a communication
with Hendricks, who says he has a good time over there and invites all
other Kalos to join him. He states further that Reiter and Rhoad are
there also, and never tire of speaking of the times spent in the Kalo Hall.
At this juncture Hendricks excused himself, stating that the 'Old Man'
wanted him ; Mr. Hartz coming in at this time and hearing the final
remarks, requested that the whole story be related to him.

Y. W. G. A. and Y. M. G. A.
'f'¥"""¥"""¥|fl WO of the most important organizations of the institution are
'^ -^. /I the Y. W. and the Y. M. C. A.
7F j1 The Y. M. C. A. was organized in 1881 with I. W.
^^ i\ Sneath as president It was not until five years later that
iii'l^iii'iiii^B.'iiii'^Niiij the young women of the college seeing the need of a similar
organization, organized the Y. W. C. A. on October 14, 1888, Miss Mary
Erisman having the honor of being elected the first president.
These two organizations have been gradually growing and the inter-
est in them has been increasing until today they are two of the leading
organizations of the college and a mighty influence for good to all who
come in contact with them.
Each of the associations holds a weekly prayer meeting and once a
month they meet in joint session, to discuss difl^erent phases of missionary
work. They are both intensely interested in missionary work, and while
most of the work of each association is done independently of the other
yet along the missionary line they have united their efibrts and are edu-
cating a boy in Africa
The Y. W. C. A. had three representatives, Miss Lehman, Miss
Moyer, and Miss Stehman, at Northfield during the Summer conference
of '00. Mr. Oyer, Mr. Baish, Mr. Yohe and Mr. Esbenshade were sent
as delegates for the Y. M. C. A.
We hope the present condition of these two associations is only the
beginning of a glorious future, and that they will continue to be a blessing
to the lives of all who come under their influence.

Base Ball Season of '00.
ff '111' m fl S a result of the creditable work done by the base-ball team of
[l f^^ Ij the last season Lebanon Valley has been able not only to
fl Til il maintain her former high standing in this department of
[s ^'^ j\ Athletics, but against odds to raise it above that held by her
[fiiii||[iii«iiil[iiiriii^iiiilj sister and even larger institutions. Through the efiBcient
coaching of Mr. Clemens, the effective pitching of our star twirler Mr.
Winter and the all around good work of the team, some of the best teams
in the collegiate ranks bowed to the inevitable and bit the dust.
However the opening of the season was not as auspicious as the most
sanguine had hoped. The first game was played with Ursinus at College-
ville with a resulting score of i6 to 14 against ns. This defeat, by no
means overwhelming, was probal ly due to an accident which befell Mr.
Fisher in the early stage of the game, forcing his retirement, and subse-
quently disabling him for the entire season. We were extremely fortu-
nate, for the remainder of the season, in having so able a base- ball general
as Mr. Clemens, succeed him.
On Friday, April 13, we crossed bats with Yale Law School on the
home grounds. This team visited us, while on a tour of the eastern Uni-
ted States and prior to this stop with us had been without exception vic-
torious, among others vanquishing the 'crack' Albright Collegiate team.
But here the tide of success was turned to defeat, the home team winning
in a well earned game, with a score of 8 to 7.
Five days later the Carlisle Ind'ans made an attack on Annville, with
a view to add nine scalps to their trophies, before 'shaking' the town.
But disappointment must came some time, even to a 'red -skin', for the
game of only five innings duration, played in a drizzling rain, resulted in
a score of 4 to 4.
Saturday, April 28, found the best team Franklin and Marshall was
able to ship on the home diamond, 'sizing' up the 'ranch' and remarking
on what an 'easy' problem they had to solve. But alas ! after a one sided
and uninteresting game the official score showed a total of 10 to i against
them. Let us make a sad story short.
117
Oil May 12, the home team needing a little practice, played with a
Lebanon organization and ran up a score of 1 8 to 6.
May 23 marks the second departure of the team and with it one of the
greatest victory of the season. In open day light we attacked the In-
dians, in their own quarters, Carlisletown, and gave them a decided de-
feat to the tune of 8 to 4. The band even stopped playing in the eighth
inning, and the 'squaws' refused to flirt with the pale faces on the grand-
stand. How the team found its way home we are unable to say.
However on May 26, the last straggler returned and just for fun,
Reading Y. M. C. A. was tendered a 'goose egg' for its aspirations, the
other score showing a margin of 22.
In rapid succession the three remaining games of the season were
played, in two of which, one by Susquehanna at Harrisburg, June i, with
• a score of 7 to 15, the other by Villa Nova, at Annville, June 8, with a
score of 6 to 12, we were worsted. The final game was played at Ann-
ville on June 14, with Susquehanna, resulting, because of the determina-
tion of our boys to end the season in triumph, with a victory and a score
of 7 to 3.

Foot Balfi Season of '00.
^'i|i""""i "iiii'|J1hE foot ball history of Lebanon Valley is comparatively short.
[ff Am^ Jj Our first indulgence in this college sport dates but four years
[i C\ j1 back and concerning the recor.ls made in this brief period
A ^"^ l1 many praiseworthy instances may be cited. Adverse criti-
[Cii^iiiiji^iiiiiii^NBl] cism, however, will attempt to show you that there has been
a falling off in the work of the team of the season just past, but that this
statement is groundless we need but to refer you to the 'oo record follow-
ing. Upon comparison with the '99 record in lest years' Bizarre ycu
will note that the schedule is a much stronger one, sab-^tituting such well
known aggregations as the Carlisle Indians. P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.,
of Philadelphia, Gettysburg and others, for the weaker teams heretoiore
played. Again, remember that in the present schedule one more game
was played than by any previous team, and despite these odds, the score
column foots 85 points for L. V. to 133 by opponents as against 79 to 14S
on last years tally sheets, leaving a margin of 21 points in excess of last
years record. This exposition of the relative merits of the two teams is
made to show some pessimistic prodigies the error of their way, and to
assure the team that the noble efforts it put forth for the Blue and White
are appreciated, at least by those who are competent to judge
The first four weeks of the season were devoted to hard prrctice un-
der the coaching of Jack Hedges, U. of P's famous end. In this time,
and against odds such as only a University man can appreciate, he suc-
ceeded in whipping into form a team, which in a first practice game on
Sept. 15, ran up a score of 33 to o against the strong Harrisburg High
School team, which in previous years we defeated by a margin of but six
points. But this was not the crucial test of his work. One week later
his proteges meet in conflict, in Carlisle, with the famous Indian team,
and in a game of twenty minute halves, played such foot ball as to
astound the 'red-skins', and give them for their trouble a score of but 34.
To the regret of every student our efficient and congenial coach in
the following week, left for Philadelphia, his duties at the University
making his presence there imperative.
October 6, found the team in Philadelphia, in our first game with the
P. R. R. Y. M. C. A , in strength second only to U. of P's team of the
same city. The hot weather made the 'playing' in the truest sense of the
word, worii, and this hard fought contest ended with a score of i6 to o,
in favor of the rail road boys.
On the following Saturday, Oct. 13, the most interesting and bitterly
contested game of the season, was played on the home gridiron. The
Franklin and Marshall team with a large contingent, arrived in the morn-
ing, and during the early hours of the afternoon large crowds from Leba-
non and the neighboring towns gathered on the College campus. The
game is on, F. and M. is demoralized by the terrific plunges through her
veteran line and the telling gains made around her swift ends. The ball
is in mid- field and, by hard playing and good head work, within fifteen
minutes after play opened, the pig skin is planted, under her goal posts.
Before the half closes she retiliates and at the end of the half the score is 6 to
6, both goals having been kicked. The latter half opens with the same
characteristic spirit as the former. All that brain and muscle is capable
of, is utilized in this final struggle for victory. Defeat is not disgraceful
but nevertheless galling, especially when victory depends on the possess-
ion of only a few patry yards of mother earth. But a few minutes are left
for play and the ball is in our territory, in our possession. A signal, a
piSS, a fumble — that word in foot ball parlance which causes thousands to
groan as in agony — and a touchdown for our opponents ends the game,
with a score of 12 to 6.
On Oct. 20, the home team played at Collegeville with Ursinus and
suffered defeat. Score 16 to o.
Muhlenberg the next team on the schedule arrived in 'Annwille,'
Saturday, Oct. 27, in lively hopes of victor}'. But these developed into
morbid anticipations, towards the close of the first half, at what the final
score against them would be. We left them 'down easy' and sent them
home rejoicing with a score of 36 to o in our favor.
In Steelton, Nov. 3, with the Y. M. C. A. of that place, we rendered
much to the delight of the spectators and much to our chagrin, a serio-
comic show of how not to play foot-ball. The boys forgot to remember
the score but after much trouble we learned it from an uninterested party
by telegram.
With the three remaining games, York Y. M. C. A., at York, score
10 to o in favor of the Blue and White, Susquehanna University, at Sel-
ings Grove, score 17 to o, and Gettysburg, at Gettysburg, score 22 to o,
this checkered season closed.

The Stopy of Glenhilton Hill.
if|¥"""¥""'¥|fl HIS legend was set down many years ago, with no attempts
f am^ j) ^t elaborate diction, by Mildred and me, while yet we lived
1% {\ j\ in Wynwoode.
fs ^^ Jj Wynwoode is a delightful town and just large enough
[Cii^iiiiiiiil[iriiii'^iiil] to forbid any one from conscientiously calling it a village.
Three or four broad streets easily paroled without fatigue and guarded
by nothing more formidable than stalwart old trees prove its existence.
Its people are of a sturdy American type who have sprung from an indus-
trious ancestry and who, therefore, are never in need of prosperity. In-
deed many of them are content to eat the bread for which their grand-
fathers worked, so idle and yet so saving are they. Because sons and
daughters are in possession of a pleasing patrimony ii.dolence seems to be
instinctive.
To one of Altrurian philosophy, Wynwoode is an ideal place, each
man, woman and child having an equal right to do nothing but to love
one another. Charity is the pervading spirit of every heart and every
home. By day, the smoke curls from the old fashioued chimneys into
wreaths of loving kindness ; and beams of blessing burnish every window
place by night.
A queer little fact about the town is the custom, established many
years ago, of entertaining all strangers fiee at the Colonially constructed
hostelry, known as the Squaw Inn. A very pious old man is in charge
of the place, who succeeded thereto in accordance with the will of a wide-
ly loved father ; but the son, now grown old, is loved and reverenced even
more if such a circumstance be possible. His surname is Mask, unto
which thro respect the heroic title of "Captain" has long since been ad-
ded. Now in his declining years another title precedes this and everyone
addresses him as Saint Captain Mask.
With the exception of the Inn, no public buildings of any kind are
in the town. Instead of going to school children are taught at their
mother's knee, and many a little boy drops to sleep with a spelling-lesson
146
for his cradle-song. Nor has a church house been deemed necessary for
a room in Squaw Inn has, ever since its foundation, been used as a place
of worship. Soul stirring services are held here every evening at the hour
of six, the keeper of the Inn always leading them; and, tho strangers
alone are compelled to attend the short sermon and vesper visitation of
the spirit, as we love to call the after part of the meeting, the room is al-
ways filled.
If ever a higher power comes nigh unto men it is at a Wynwoode as-
semblage of saints. The creed of each is love, Bjuutiful Love, and
Captain Mask teaches and re-teaches it nightly. Yet no one ever tires of
him or his creed.
It is an evening in the autumn tide. The wood-dove deigns a drows-
ing song and the papaw ripens at the touch of frost into luscious life.
Other birds are singing their farewell lullabies in kaleidoscopic northern
boughs. It is the hour of six. Mildred, my sister, and I enter the sacred
Inn chamber. We are the first to come for the evening service. Captain
Mask is in his father's old, red chair by the niahogony table and his head
as usual, is bowed over the calf bound Bible. Others have kept coming
in and have taken their seats quietly ; and now all are waiting for the
Saint Captain to raise his head and utter his well- rendered word of wel-
come. And still we wait. The clock ticks on and on. "How impress-
ive will be his speech when once he begins," is in the mind of more than
one. An hour has really passed and the Saint has not yet moved. But,
see! he raises his head at last. He rises and begins to speak, slowly and
solemnly, these words, "I must die! I must die ! Bury me in Glenhilton
Hill at early morn I am resting upon the bosom of a lofty Love." He
sits down and the stony eye reveals ihe sad fact that the Death- Angel has
been in our midst.
As order is next to piety in Wynwoode, there is no confusion.
Tornby Phelps, who is much respected for his extreme age, rises ; and
walking to the side of the cold Saint Captain issues this command :
"Fellow souls, get home! Get ye home! and thank God that the
good keeper died in so great peace. Mantell Evans and the brother Ben-
tleys will remain."
In accordance with his own wish, at early mourn the remains of Saint
Captain Mask rest in the Wynwoode cemetery. The four men had buried
him as they have buried others in Glenhilton Hill, with no word from a
human ritual, but with the music of the little brook that swept the marsh
grass as strings of an angel's lyre, for a benediction.
The death of Mask was of the sudden kind that from its very unac-
147
countability startles every body. His goodness is the theme for a hun-
dred tongues ; and be it further said to his credit that not a single post-
humous fault can be found in him. Uiienvious, without malice and free
of all guile, he died as a true follower of the pure Christ.
Squaw Inn stands closed au'l out of an uncommon respect not a man
visits it during the whole day. Entire Wynwoode is in mourning and a
dozen crape folds drape as many doors, all in memory of the same sweet
Saint Captain.
As citizens of a peculiarly beautiful town, we always take a just pride
in our cemetery, and Tornby Phelps — "Careful Torn," as the women
called him — has had charge of it for many years. He lives his bachelor
life in a quiet little cottage right near the one small gate and on the inner
side. Thro his efforts every thing in Glenhilton Hill smiles at you.
It is again the hour of six. The minutes of but a single day have
passed away since the chief religious spirit of the place had suddenly en-
tered into the silence of death. Glenhilton Hill is closed for the night.
Old Tornly, as is his wont, sits contemplatively upon an old rustic sofa
in front of his cottage. His eyes are fixed intently upon the fresh earth
covering the body of his aged friend, the Saint Captain. Soon they
moisten with tears, and in sorrow he bows his head, rich in the silver
locks of honored age. In this position he falls asleep, the peace of the
October night conducing to its soundness.
While he sleeps a mysterious happening is taking place in old Glen-
hilton Hill. The ground upon the Saint Captains grave "s pushed back
b3' a rising hand, then a rising arm. Soon a head appears and in but a
second more the spirit of the Saint stands in the narrow path of the ceme-
tery. A perfect likeness of the real man, it stands and listens. A mo-
ment passes. Then swiftly moving toward the gate, the spirit opens it
and passes down the long hillside into Wynwoode. Soon Squaw Inn is
reached; and, as spirits predominate over matter, it disappears with all
haste directly thro the closed green shutter. A moment more and the
spirit is again moving through the Glenhilton Hill gate. Slipping quietly
to the side of sleeping Tornly a document is undisturbingly placed in his
hands.
It had been but five minutes since the spirit first appeared and in this
time it had gone to the Sijuaw Inn, hid procured the document, had re-
turned to the burial-ground with it, and now was no more. Its mission
ended, it had vanished.
Soon it is morning. With the coming of sun beams among the frost
148
cracked cliestnut burs, Tornhy awakens. He discovers a carefully fold-
ed document, of what nature he knows not, in his hand. But he shows
no alarm at the strange incident. It is useless for him to open it for he
cannot read. With the calm patience and precision of a man of fourscore
years he places it in his cottage until noon.
After several hours of planning he goes into Wynwoode and summons all
of the townspeople. To their surprise he tells them of his strange acqui-
sition and appoints Mantell Evans to read the curious paper. So odd is
the proceeding that the people listen breathlessly when Evans begins :
To My Beloved Friends at Wynoode:
I have communed often with the Divine One and he has commission-
ed me, at my death, to tell you that in Glenhilton Hill every buried soul
now dwells in Htaven. It is the only cemetery in all the earth that bears
this great aud unusual distinction. Be glad for this; but after the burial
of old Tornby Phelps, whose death shall follow mine, close its gate for-
ever. Strife will ensue immediately as to who shall keep the Squaw Inn
and sad human sin will henceforth abound in many hearts. As j'ou had
abundant faith in me while I lived, may you likewise believe that this
order and prophecy is from
Your religious brother ;
Saint C.\ptain Mask.
Wymvoode, July j-
Of course all believe it genuine, and their belief is strengthened by
the sudden death of old Tornby on his way back to Glenhilton Hill, where
he always loved to dwell. After his burial the order of the document is
heeded ; and the strange, but beautiful, cemetery is locked, to remain so
forever. Wynwoode is proud of its righteous possession, but as the Saint
Captain prophecied it will never have another.
It is now about the middle of winter. Strife has indeed been in our
midst. A new burial place has twenty dear souls within its borders, but
many of them are lost by the sin of envy.
Mildred and I love to linger by the gate of Glenhilton Hill ; and
sometimes we wish that we too were buried there and might join, on Res-
urrection morning, the band of purified souls that Saint Captain Mask
will lead into the Eternal City.

Almighty God, whose fingers trace
The arcs eternal of the soul,
We wait before thy wondrous face
As spring before her blossom-dole.
To praise thee for the years that came
And left a being and a name
Upon our alma mater dear.
And built the history her men revere.
We wait before Thy wondrous face.
To pray thee for the years to be ;
The past that was, ran well its race ;
So help the long futurity.
Whate'er the onward years may bring.
Diminish not the blossoming.
Of stalwart faith in ev'r}- mind
And teach us well, to doubt is to be blind.
That Truth can guild the lowest spire
Can crown the humblest head a king,
Can touch the wisest minds to fire.
And turn to song earth's sorrowing.
We also plead that love be taught
To glorify tenfold our thought.
And place a glow within our eyes
That men know us kindest of the wise.
O clothe our arms with strength divine
Endow our hands with matchless skill,
That we may pile upon this shrine
A palace pleasing to Thy will !
Increase the workmen day by day.
Till everywhere men rise to say
Behold, abundant built and blessed,
This is the crowu of learning in the West.

IVIelancholy.
Just what I am
And how I came
Into this world of sorrow,
Why born today
To pass iiway
Upon the coming morrow?
Why live to die,
Why smile, to sigh.
Why tears must follow pleasures?
Why hearts no more
As once before
Contain love's golden treasures.
Why suffer pain
Still ne'er complain
If fortune doth forsake me,
Why cares do press
With awful stress
And ruin overtake nic?
Why hopes that bloom
Today at noon
By eve are dead and wasted,
Why joys not mixed
With ill betwixt
B)' man are never tasted?
Why friends betray
Who yesterday
My love had shared in common ;
But now the5''re gone,
I'm left alone,
No helping hand to summon.
Alone and sad,
Methinks nigh mad,
I brood o'er past and future,
Recall woes gone
Curse those to come,
A wretched, forlorn creature.
Such thoughts arise
And cloud the skies
That once with light were beaming ;
The darkness grows
The chill wind blows,
And ray eyes with tears are streaming
The storm has passed,
Joy breaks at last.
As after rain the sun's glow
Streams through the mist
By dew drops kissed
Reveals the glorious rainbow.
The world is bright
No more the night
Of melancholy brooding
Hangs like a pall,
O'er hope, o'er all,
But now fair Hope I'm wooing.

A Question
A man may be a graduate,
And pride himself on knowledge great :
May lecture, preach, with skill may write.
Converse in manner erudite ;
Still, ten to one, 'twill be his way
When he means "doesn't," don't to say,
And in his talk most generally
His "only" 's where it shouldn't be.
For Where's the school with power to teach
Us freedom from these slips of speech ?
156
Inconsistenoies>
Inconsistency's a bone,
This truth none will deny,
Its shallowness has been observed
By you as well as I.
'Tis found in every human form
In every walk of life :
Among the students in our school
Its doings are quite rife.
Now I'm not here to criticise,
But I would like to show
Some inconsistencies of friends
And school-mates that 1 know.
I trust that none will take offense
At things that may be said,
And class me as their enemy,
For what they here have read.
'Twas Sanders asked that I should write
A little rhyme or two ;
Of him I'll tell a little trick-
Perhaps the same of 3'ou.
You see he is a Democrat, —
When Bryan's in the ring
He'll talk "free trade" and "equal rights.
And "silver" songs he'll sing;
But then when Quay is in the town
His politics he'll change,
He says it is the way to give
His thoughts a wider range.
Oh, yes, he speaks for Wooley too,
And still he'll drink of wine ;
Now wh}' not be consistent, Bill,
In one particular line?
Elocution is quite giand.
And Showers knows it too ;
He practices continually
When there's nothing else to do.
If his selections do not rhyme
He knows just how to alter ;
His lessons are not very few —
He takes them of Miss Walter.
157
S. Edwin Rnpp a preacher is
Yet loves his "Polar Bear;"
With cards he's more fatuiliar
Than with his book of prayer.
He's quite a ladies' man I'm told,
Oft' spoons them on the sly ;
But when the lecture nights have come
You'll never find him nigh.
Prof. Spangler says he won't admit
Of "ponying" in his course ;
Yet in this volume he is seen
About to mount a horse.
And all the other Profs, assert
That its against their rule ;
However not one honest chap
Is found in all the school.
Friend Brunner's eyes won't stand the light.
Through glasses he must see ;
But he's been courting natural Light
Since he's at old L. V.
And then there's dear old Fatty Smith
Whose friendship none will rue ;
Who always managed while in class
To sit beside our Sue.
Our Arnold claims to be a man
With Christian graces filled ;
To hear him talk you'd think that he's
Straight through for glory billed.
Howe'er one Christian trait he lacks, —
Perhaps he counts it not, —
His heart is filled with strife and war.
He always craves a Sliolt.
Perhaps you'll question at this point.
Who might the writer be?
But should I tell I know 'twould seem
A breach of modesty.
So I'll not tell and thus will show,
As does each wicked elf,
That inconsistency pertains
Likewise unto myself.

The GoHege Gommandnrients.
And the President called the students unto him saying :
1. Thou shalt not prefer anj' college to this one.
2. Thou shalt not make any 'under estimate' of the ability of thy
profs., neither those that are literary, nor those that are scientific, nor
any that are connected with this college; for thy profs, are jealous profs.,
visiting the iniquity of 'under valuing their worth' upon the student,
even unto his third and fourth college years.
3. Thou must not consider 'reviews,' 'tests,' and 'ex-ams' as vain
for the profs, will grade the student with zero that regardeth these things
as vain.
4.*
5. Write long and loving letters to thy parents, that thou mayest
receive many checks from home, and thy days may be long within these
walls which the College Agent hath given thee.
6. Thou shalt not 'slug' in foot ball.
Thou shalt not 'spoon.'
Thou shalt not plagiarize.
Thou shalt not prevaricate in Faculty meeting.
Thou shalt not covet any Senior's girl, nor his 'rep,' nor his
'pony,' nor his wisdom, nor his dignity, nor anything which is the
Senior's.
But thou shalt love the President and all thy profs., and thy class
enemies and thy girl, even as the profs, love one another.

A Pessimist's Gurei
We cry for bread they give us stftnes,
We aSk for meat they give us bones ;
The coiv goes dry just twice a day
The butter walks from us away.
The coffee looks as weak as tea,
The tea for all might water be ;
I sip, and sip, now one, then three,
They're all alike in taste to me.
The oatmeal's schorched, the sugar's sour,
The cakes too greasy to devour ;
The spoons are scarce, just one for each.
If more than one, they will not reach.
Potatoes, mashed are rare and cold.
The peas are bullets, hard and old ;
The soup is thiu, the fowl's no dunce.
He wandered through it only once.
Cream cheese and dog meat once a week,
On Sunday eve our eyes do greet ;
Sometimes, we know its by mistake.
They furnish each a slice of cake.
Are )'Ou surprised that chickens near.
Do huddle close in anxious fear.
As by some hungry student goes.
Bewailing all his direful woes.
Such is our lot, they witness bear
Who long time since have lived on air ;
Whose stomachs from their long disuse
Refuse to furnish gastric-juice.
And we are now in sorry plight.
We can no longer prowl at night,
For though we make a lucky haul
Our luck but adds to bitt'rest gall.
1 60
We dare not eat, we can not drink;
What can we do? Not even think.
If through our brains a stray thought flashes,
We can not grasp it ere it passes.
We are no longer sweet and glad.
But mostly sour, bitter, sad :
We look through glasses falsely shaded
And see the world with ill pervaded.
There is no good, all bad is rated:
But here's a cure though homely stated,
A cure effective, rest upon it,
To reach man's heart, go through his stomach.
A Prophecy.
The students swear and quake with fright,
In the dark halls spooks they spy,
For the college wont have those electric lights,
Till away in the sweet bye and bye.

Answers to Queries Found in Bizarre Question Box.
All information imparted free of charge.
Anonymous communications receive no attention.
F. B. E. — If you sincerely believe you are called to follow the minis-
try as a profession, do so ; however carpentry might pay better.
John S. — No it is not the best policy to skip classes. Human nature
abhors solitude and the professors desire company occasionally.
D. M. O — We are grateful for your solicitude for our success and
will make as frequent and favorable mention of your name as possible.
Miss E. L. S. No indeed, continual laughter does not always "pay."
The Annville Water Company will certainly reward you handsomely for
weeping in the reservoir.
R. S. S — The person who said you were conceited was unpardonably
rude and we would advise you to consider the matter as a joke and let it
pass.
T. A. L — The proper place to say your prayers is in Chapel. And
while this is nearly a contradiction in terms, we still hold that this advice
is salient.
E. S. F. — Yes if, as you say, you dislike work, we advice you not to
dream. A m±re fancy that you are passing through some mental exertion
or undergoing some manual labor might result fatally.
Miss L G. K — It is indiscreet and often risky to have two "regular"
gentlemen friends at once. It has been well said, "A Burd in the hand
is worth two in the bush. '
I. F. L. — The signing of "pledges" has come into ill repute. Un-
scrupulous persons often use the "pledge" S3'stem as a means for gather-
ing autographs, in anticipation of the signer's future greatness. So at all
hazards, refrain
W. S. R. — Reciting is of course necessary on some occasions, but a
continued indulgence in this habit is deplorable, for usually the professor
in charge has sufficent knowledge of the subject in hand.
164
T. W. G. — The desertion of one's leader is no less cowardly than the
bitrayal of ones constituents. We recommend your spirit to your breth-
ren and refer you to our answer to the "Sophomores" for consolation.
A. W. M. — We cannot furnish you with" Sir Rodger deCoverley's
poems. We refer you to the Library where you may secure a volume of
Addison's Spectator, and there acquaint yourself with this popular gentle-
man of fiction .
Karnig — Profane language is in all instances inexcusable. The use
of it reflects badly on your slang vocabular)', wliich, at this stpge of your
college course, should be considerably augmented, and sufficient for all
trying emergencies.
New Student. — The library is excellently lighted by numerous elec-
tric lights. However it would be well to bring a lamp, an eye shade and
a pair of glasses along, if you expect to consult reference bookb at night.
Miss N. S. L. — (i) Because your friend calls few times during the
week and twice on Sunday does not justify the rumor afloat that you are
engaged. (2) No it is not in good taste to wear a minature photograph
of your friend as a brooch .
Miss A. C. W. — If the love of your friend for you is waning, and you
fear it is a true case of cardiac collapse, we advise 3'ou to leave him alone
for a few daj's. Your constant "anxiety" may weary him, for "Tis dis-
tance lends enchantment and absence quickens love."
J. W. E. — Swelling of the head is a necessary accompaniment of the
Sophomore year. As to a cure for it, if the case is not acute, we etther
refer you to the "League of Death" or advice that you bide your time, as
it will disappear when you become a Junior.
C. A. S. — If the girl really loves you, she will be content to wait un-
til you have completed your college course, however long that may be.
No, an engagement is unnecessary, for a well known authority has said ;
"School children should never become engaged."
Miss B. E. — The fact that the young man you speak of tossed a coin
to decide which of two girls he should escort to the lecture, clearly shows
he cared little for either. Since you were the one left you need not feel
badly about it, for had your fortunate(?) rival the knowledge you possess,
she would long since have been hunting new "pastures."
Sophomores. — There are, it is true, many dangers attendent upon
bravery, loss of life not infrequently being among them. Yes cowardice
is nearly always self protective in its nature, it having been said, "A
165
coward seldom dies." However in otir humble opinion, which we cull
from j'our actions on the night of March 14, you need have no immediate
cause for alarm.
Miss L. A. S. — No you are not obliged to kiss the young man good-
night, even if he insists, for it has been recently discovered that "appendi-
citis" is contagious. (2) Since the matron has several times disturlei
you in your "devotions," occupy the front porch hereafter and if the lamp
annoys you, a request to the President will secure its removal.
Miss R F. L. — The hours between which your friend should call are
Sand 10 p. at. (2) No he should not prolong his stay to 12, and on no
account permit him to remain as early as 2.30 A. m. If you do not wish
to speak to him about the matter, eat a raw onion before he arrives,
and we are sure he will .soon be broken of his bad "habit."
W. O. R. — Doubtless it is not proper for a young lady to "spoon"
you, on the occasion of your first call and infinitely worse for her to
attempt to do so contrary to your expressed wish. You should have
called the Preceptress, for no true lady will kiss a gentleman against his
will. We would advice you to call on ladies who employ less common
methods of entertainment, for commonplaces should always be avoided.
Seniors. — Yes we do consider the "end- piece" in last year's "Bizarre"
a finely executed pen sketch and agree with you that it reflects much
credit on the ability of your artist. However we are inclined to believe
that it was the first product of his pen and that his "inspiration" gradually
left him or his ink supply was limited by the time he reached "Athletics. ' '
Miss G. M. B. — The use of a "rat" in the arrangement of your hair,
should be avoided if possible. Tne high pompadour at best is unnatural
and in wearing a hat is a decided nuisance, it being nearly impossible to
perserve its shape. (2) As to a "switch" it should only be used, when
the purchase of a hair "tonic" is impossible, or mosquito netting a failure.
Gehr and Hambright. — (1) It is hardly compatible with good eti-
quette to eat with 3'our knife, and dangerous at times for knives, as they
are made to cut, are frequently sharp. (2) No never "dump" half the
contents of a dish on your own plates when there are seven others to be
served, nor pass a single piece of bread, with the fingers, when the bread
is called for. (3) Yes in boarding halls where large numbers are fed, the
suppply is often limited, and other people are blessed with appetites as well
as yourselves.

Raid of the Gobbeleirs.
(CONTRIBUTED.)
On a night cold and -drear
Without triumph, or cheer
Did some revelers revel-de-raid ;
With a pitcher and bowl,
And a slop-jar not whole,
And a piece of an old table "spade."
Their course was due South
'Twas the word from the mouth
Of the leader so dig-in-i-fied,
Also "Fall without fail
On the head or the tail
Of the first lurking enemy spied."
The orders are "Halt !"
Then "Forward, Assault !
Seize on the dark feathered foe !"
So old "Blunder-buss"
Not to make any fuss
Seized the victim by head, tail, aud toe.
Then "Face about ! Run !"
The captain begun
This time their direction was East ;
And their hearts were so gay
For they thought all the way.
Of the glorious, glorious feast.
Now here comes the fun
For the cleaning's begun.
In a manner as I shall describe
For if Blunder-buss, Spreckle-fex
Sap-sucker-sidel
Didn't all want to boss I'll be died.
But Old Hob-gobble ebel
Bold Lip-come- alible
Now conies to the front of the raid
171
All tbe poor gobbler bad
Of his feet tail and head
Were cut off with one sweep of the "spade."
Then down in the bucket
Old Hobble did chuck it,
Till feathers and skin all came off ;
Then the other work done
Of the in-tes-ti-an
Ebo Spreckle-fex started to stuff.
Then next to the pot
And they had not forgot
Of seasonings lard, pepper and salt.
And round the old stand
They "dealt out a hand"
'Till the boiling was brought to a stop.
They are lax all around
When they hear the gay sound
Of bubbles now breaking with cracks ;
They all take a snuff
Of the glorious stuff
And their lips so longingly smack.
It is done ; now its laid
On its back, while the "spade"
Sinks deep in its fat, oily side,
It is carved into four
Each, a quarter no more
And they munch till the morning breaks wide.

Epilogue.
Now our irksome task has passed
From our wearied hands at last ;
Jokes grown stale from long abuse
With us have no further use.
Things that happen now, are dead,
So you need have little dread,
That your actions we'll portray
In dry prose or rh)'me, we'll say.
For 'tis shameful to call verse
What is hardly prose or worse.
In this little book we've tried
To amuse you and beside
To appease your thirst for fame,
In large print we've placed your name.
Hope you wont offended be,
And think ill of us 'cause we
Used some tell-tale habit, queer,
Or a word dropped through the year,
To help make our book replete
With fun, otherwise 'twere incomplete.
If our pleading goes for naught.
And you censure us for aught.
When you think again, be gay,
"Every dog must have his day."
If you'd even scores, don't moan.
Write an Annual of your own.
With these lines we take our rest
Feeling that we've done our best;
Proof-sheets, manuscript galore
Fare thee well forever more —
Amen.

What in the world
to give a friend ?
College men know and the Nruo Hiven Union says, apropos
of term-end with its good-byes : ' 'The question of zvhat in the
zvorld to give a friend at parting seems to have been solved by
the publication of
Songs of all the Colleges
which are alike suitable for the collegian of the past, for the stu-
dent of the present, and for the boy [or girl) with hopes; also
for the music-loving sister, and a fellow's best girl.
"All the NEW songs, all the OLD songs,
' 'and the songs popular at all the colleges ;
"a welcome gift in a?iy home anywhere. "
